Is This Finally The End Of Giacomo Goo-Gooism?

It never ceases to amaze ... how badly people can miss the point.

No one is bashing Giacomo ... we're just commenting on the goo-goos who were trying to convince us ... despite all evidence to the contrary ... that Giacomo is still a G1 race horse.

If you read my earlier posts on this thread ... and comprehended them ... which I know is asking a lot ... you'd realize that I'm a fervent supporter of Giacomo ... and dearly hope that he's given a decent opportunity as a stallion.

Hey, Steve ... is it possible to add a Remedial Reading Comprehension section to this site?

Sheeeeeesh !!!

I don't see why he couldn't be a grade one winner this year. He won a grade two this year... who's to say he couldn't win a grade one?

He is a threat in any 2 turn race that has a 46"0 and 1:10 etc.If you don't believe that,all I can say is he already has won a grade 1 like that.You're saying he can't do it against older.I disagree.He can win a grade 1 against older(if it goes his way.)I don't believe(like you do)that he is class-limited.He is pace limited.We simply disagree on this.Now go btch about some other horse you think can't do something.

But ... I agree wholeheartedly ...

... Giacomo will definitely win another G1 race ... the next time every other horse in the race collapses from exhaustion before the finish line.

Maybe he should revert back to the days of Eclipse ... and try four-mile heat races ... maybe by the third heat ... if it's a really hot, muggy day ... everyone else will throw in the towel.

Sort of like Joey Maxim "defeating" Sugar Ray Robinson on a 110° night.

Now ... if we could only get someone to put up about a million bucks for some 32f heat races ...
